Torque is what give you the low E.T and HP give you the MPH at the traps. 
Does the 347 have a longer stroke than the 351w? 
With all things being equal, then I would say the engine with the longer stroke would give you a slightly better E.T.

 A 347's stroke is 3.400 and a 351 is 3.500.  That is very little and I'm not sure if that will even make a difference. Were talking about 4 little cubes here which is nothing. Look at it this way the .030 overbore makes up for the 4 cubes, and the smaller journals the 347 has put it over the top. Now if you stroke the 351 that would change it all
